Person-centered positive supports are about empowering people with disabilities to live lives that fully reflect their individuality and their humanity. They're about using evidence-based positive practices in the service of the needs, values, and goals of the person receiving the support. And they're about promoting quality of life for people in ways that are meaningful to them. The 17 articles in this issue of "Impact" examine the use of person-centered positive supports with people who have intellectual and developmental disabilities. They educate readers about the issues, guiding principles, and choices that must be examined in policy and practice. This issue profiles exemplary strategies for delivery of services. And it shares personal stories of the difference that person-centered positive supports make for individuals. A list of useful resources from around the country is also included.
